Phoenix Mercury Game

 On Saturday around lunchtime, the kids and I were trying to decide what we would do while Boss was watching UFC with friends. I had a craft party at my house later that night but it wasn't until the kids went to bed. My dad called and said he had tickets to a Phoenix Mercury game and asked if we wanted to go so I decided to cancel my craft party so the kids and I could get out of the house.
Sadly, I didn't even know the colors or anything about the team so I looked it up online so my kids could have team spirit. {Orange and purple}
 We got to ride the lightrail to the game and Spidey loved it! He was in Heaven the whole ride.
 My nephew was sitting next to us and wanted to take some pictures of us. We were having fun.
 Petey and George. Best buddies.
 Spidey's "pose"
 He kept pointing out the window at different things. He really did love the whole ride and I think that was the highlight of his night.
 Petey and Spidey switched seats halfway through so Spidey could sit by his cousin. I don't have a smart phone but Petey loves looking at pictures on my phone.
 The kids got these for free and loved playing with them during the game.

Grandpa spoiled us and got pizza, icees and popcorn.
 Petey is obsessed with popcorn and asks for it almost every day. Her seat was up by me but she ended up sitting on the steps so she could share popcorn with Grandpa.
 And my boy is obsessed with sugary drinks so the icee was his favorite thing. I'm not sure if he ever came up for a breath before it was gone.
About halfway through, they 'upgraded our tickets' {because the stadium was half empty and they wanted to clean the top part} so we got to sit in the 7th row. We lasted til about the 3rd quarter when Petey started crying because she was so tired. She cried on the lightrail and fell asleep in the car.

It was a super fun memory with the kids. I love doing things with them and seeing their reactions.  I have the best children AND the best dad!

Sun Devil Winters

One of my favorite things about the weather cooling down and Christmas lights being put up on houses is knowing that college basketball season has started. I am not an avid basketball fan but I am a Sun Devil fan!
We have already been to a couple of games (and missed many of them too) but last weekend, Boss stayed home with Spidey and my girly and I got to go to the game with Grandpa and Wilbur Force.
My parents even had some awesome ASU Santa hats for us to sport. Wilbur Force and Petey wore them. :)

That's my little girly, posing ON a chair. Good thing it didn't fold up on her.


Halfway through the game, Petey was a little bored and tired so we broke out the camera and took some funny pictures.

This was supposed to be our smiling picture but someone gave me the crazy eyes. I love looking at this picture because that is exactly my girl! She is always doing something silly.

Of course, this picture was a close second for funniest picture. She tried really hard to copy the face I was making.

Getting a shoulder ride from Grandpa is the best way to leave the game. Of course, we did lose that particular game but we still support our Devils!


And that's how Suze sees it.
